Our biggest tool to motivate people is obviously looking at their goals and planing accordingly. But one of the other effective tools in motivating someone is getting them to look at a previous version of themselves and see the changes that have happened.
This is a great way of motivating someone who is in a little bit of a slump. I have had a client who has recently lost a little bit of motivation and just seemed to be going through the motions with training and their diet and lifestyle. We took a little bit of time to discuss how far they had come in the time we had been training together, and how much improvement we had both seen. It was almost instantaneous the change in motivation and vigour that client had towards training in the past couple of weeks.
We can all look forward to how our fitness journey can effect our future, but lets not neglect where our fitness journey has already taken us. Take a bit of time to look back at where you once were, now this could be a positive you can see the improvements that you have made over time. Or it could be used as a motivating factor that your diet and lifestyle choices have maybe slipped a little and need to be pulled back into check. But use this reflective time to get some clarity and new found motivation going into the next couple of weeks!
